Atherton & District Amateur Photographic Society

To be honest, I found GIMP not as easy to use as Photoshop - but then I was new to Photo editing. As a piece of free software it seems to really do the job.

I have to query whether the judge having the prints prior to the competition is the right thing to do - or even within the spirit of judging.
